It is we believe admitted, that of all the questions which indeed, which engage the attention of the New Parliament , or which interest the great mass of society in general, that of Emancipation i s t h e most i mportan t. Its opposers and advocates are agre e d on t hi s po i n t, w hatever may be tne7 arguments or opinions on the merits of the abstract ques tion. The success of the measure we would consider as a triumph. But here let us not be misunderstood; let us not be considered as taking a partizan view of the ques tion ; w e h ave over and over again recorded our opinion, . that the interests of the Empire would be benefitted Ina" terially by this just concession, and it is because of its sa lutary influence on national concerns, that We have advo•• clued in such stormy times the question of Catholic Eman eipation. When we use then, the phrase triumph, we do rat mean a triumph of . Catholics over Protestants, lay or e n iet iesl, or a triumph o f I r i s h i nterests over British; "t we intend by the phrase, the triumph of opinion over forc e , I t is obvious to any person who will not close his eyes to the fact, that' those two great principles are, and have been, since the overthrow of feudalism,. struggling for the mastery over the human species.

Subjected to a long and dismal confinement in the dungeon of force, their incur eeration was not destitute of an occasional glimmering fro m the lamp of opinion. --And we trust Europe will speedily, by the example of the Greeks, learn the import ant lesson, that the great characteristics of human nature are indelible; that the changes wrought in the political constitution of states, and consequent individual degrada tion, are commensurate with, as they are caused by, the tyranny of force, and its offspring— lows •in one word, monopoly. partial a n d oppressive We have been led into these observations by that ques tion which immediately concerns ourselves ; a question chieli str ong ly e xemplifies the co n fli c t o f the two prin- Pleß Which have already produced permanent and exten -81" effects on the Continent of Europe, and which must ve ry. speedily b e d ec id e d i n th e Brit is h i s l an d s .

A VOICE FROM MARATHON. The following magnificent burst is copied from the Tures. It is enough to awake the dead, and is worthy of old Tyrueus—would the Greeks but feel it! 3 0 for a voice, as loud as that of Fame, To breathe the word—Arise! From Pindus to Taygeust to proclaim— Let every Greek arise! Ye who haye hearts to strike a sinyle blow, Hear my despairing cries ! Ye who have hands to immolate on e foe, Arise! arise! arise! From the dim fields of Asphodel beneath, Upborne by cloudy sighs Of those who love their country still iu death,— Ev'n /arise ! These are not hands for earthly-wringing—these ! Blood should nut blind these eyes ! Yet here I stand, untomb'd 111timanits, • Weeping—arise! arise! Hear ye the groans that heave this burial-field ? Old Grtecia's saviour-baud Cry from the dust—" Fight on! nor Dakr."to yield! " Save ye our father-land! " Blunt with your bosom the barbaric spear! " Break it within your breast ; " Then come, brave Greek ! and join your brothers here " In our immortal rest ! 1 ' Shall modern DATES, swoln with Syrian pride, Cover the land with slaves?— Ay—let them cover it, both far and wide,— Cover it with their yraves Much has been done—but more remains to do— Ye have fought long and well! The trump that on th' Egeau, glory blew, Seared with a storm to swell! Asia's grim tyrant shudder'd at the sound, He leap'd upon his throne ! Munnued his horse-tail'd chieftainry around— " Another Marathon 1" Dodomi, 'mid her fanes and forests hoar, Heard it with solemn glee : And old Parnassus, with a lofty roar, Told it from sea to sea ! High-bosom'd Greece thro' her unnumbered vales Broke forth in glorious song! Her classic streams that plough the headlong dales, Thundeed the notes along ! But there's a bloodier wreath to gain, 0 friends, Now ride, or ever fall ! If ye fight now no fiercer titan the fiends, Better not tight at all! The feverish war-drum mingles with tin the In dismal symphony, And Moslem strike at liberty and life,— For both, strike harder ye! Hark! how Cithceron with his earthquake voice Calls to the utmost shores! While Pluto barn, against the riving noise, His adamantine doors ! Athenb, tiptoe ou her crumbling dome, Cries—Youth, ye must be men ! And Echo shouts within her rocky tomb, — Greeks, become Greeks again ! The stone, first brought, his living-tomb to close, Patuaniate mother piled : Matrons of Greece! wilt ye do lass for foes, Than she did for her child ? Let Boyhood strike !—Let every rank and age Do each what each ran do! Let him whose arm is mighty as his rage, .Strike deep—strike home—strike thro' ! Be wise, he firm, be cautious, yet be bold !. Be brother-true! be ONE! 1 teach but what the Phrygian taught of old— Divide, and be undone I Hallowed in life, in death itself, is he Who for his country dies; A light, a star, to all futurity— Arise ye, then! arise! 0 countrymen! 0 countmen ! once more— By earth—and seas—a dd skies— By /ItaViti—by sacred Hades—timplore— Arise! arise ! arise! . DEATH OF TILE RlO,wr HON. Loan RIIIIILES4, nahE.—We are this week udder the painful necessity of announc ing the demise of this amiable and truly patriotic nobleman. He died on the 22d inst. at his seat, Gisburne-park, near Skipton, in Craven, in the 7211 year of hia age. - Lord Ribblesdale WAS born on the 221 of March, 1752, and married, in 1789, Rebecca, daughter of Joseph Fielding, Esq., of the kingdom of Ireland, by Elizabeth, daughter of Christopher Jackson, of the county of Not tingham. By this marriage his Lordship had issue one son, the Hon. Thomas Lister (now Lord Ribblesdale), born the 23d of January, 1'790, and two daughters. During the American war, he raised, at his own expense, a regiment of horse for the use of Government, called Lister's Light Dragoons, and afterwards, at the breaking out of the French Revolution, became Colonel of the Craven Legion of Yeomanry Cavalry, which commission he re tained to his death. For these and other. important .services to his country, coupled with his high and illustrious descent, his late Majesty raised bins to the Peerage, on the 26th of October, 1797, by the title of Baron Ribblesdale. It is needless to add, that his Lordship's opinions were upon all questions, truly in accordance I: the e°lln with the principles of the Constitution , as settled in 1688, He was a patron of the fine arts, and possessed a rideable collection lof pictures at Giaburne Park, including some choice portraits— ! viz., one of General Lambert and one of Oliver Cromwell, by Sir Peter Lely, said to be taken by the Protect o r'a own order, with all the singular wars and protuberances. The possessions of this noble Wilily on the borders of the river which giver origin to th e title, are by descent of extraordinary antiquity, haring been ac quired about 6th Edward lt., 1312, by the marriage of J o h n , son of Sir Thomas Lister, with Isabel, daughter and heiress of John de Bolton, from which Thomas Lister, the present possessor, is the lath, in lineal descent. The above Isabel, it is believed, also was descended through the illustrious families of Clan', Gant, and Roumare, from the old Saxon Earls of Mercia; Wm. de Ronmare, one of the great Norman Barcus, having, after the Con, quest , marr i e d L u cy, sister and heiress of Edwin, the last E ar l, as it is quoted by Sir William Dugdale in and thereby possessing, crovennain, et Couplandiam, 0 Allerdale, et a herd of wild cattle , • • , hisC e eAki:emaastm,ilttiehe. li‘eredaietaverill" iti G o i f sb t u i r ie ne in P di a g r e k no is us remarkable breedlvlti f tui r once crowded the forests of Lancashire.

(From La Belle Assemblee.) Hoax CosrusrE.--Over an under garment of India muslin, of the most delicate texture, is worn au elegant • deshabille robe of celestial blue, or of sea-green taffety, • without sleeves. The body is made in the Cireassiart style, and discovers that of the muslin dress underneath, plaited en chemizette, with a quilling of thread-tulle nex l t the throat : the sleeves are of white muslin, and fastened at the wrists with broad bracelets, enriched with cameos and valuable gems; there are no other ornaments on the sleeves. A sash, the colour of the dress, is loosely tied on the left side with a small bow and long ends. At the border of the muslin petticoat, which is nearly a hand's breadth longer than the coloured robe, is a full rouleau of muslin, wound round with a cordon of a novel kind, in shining cotton. A roldeau of silk finishes also-the co-: loured dress next the hem. An Oriental turban of crape or sarcenet, the same tint as the outer robe, and discover ing but little of the hair, arranged in curls on each side of the temples, constitutes the head-dress, with a narrow frill of plaited tulle under the, chin. SEA-SIDE DRESS.—This specimen of marine costume, as it is the newest that has appeared, will, most likely, be the last with which we shall present our readers this sea son. Though September commenced so drearily, some warmer days succeeded, and we look forward to what, we denominate the Indian summer in October, for some of those genial days which may render such a style of dress appropriate. Notwithstanding the seeming, lightness of this costume for the declining season of the year, the, gown is certainly of the demi-liaison kind ; and the, muslin pelerine worn with it—an article too warm for suinmer found quite a sufficient out-door-covering in the mild days of the autumnal season. The dress is of grns de Naples, of a pale pink, with very _ narrow dark brown stripes, and is ornamented at the bor der with three flounces : the body is made eloie to the shape, with clear white muslin sleeves, en gigot, sur mounted by mandierons, with a double trimming of lace at the edges; the sleeves confined at the wrists with bracelets ornamented with cameos. A pelerine tippet of muslin, with long ends, is trimmed all round with lace, with a double colerette ornamented in the same manner, and fastened in front with a bow of coloured ribbon. The hat is either of Leghorn or white gros de Naples, and is ornamented with pink sarsnet, and large .double garden poppies, of a pale pink.—A parasol, of the lightest shade of sea-green, is generally adopted with this dress. AGRICULTURAL' REPORT for SEPTEMBER. The wheat crop, on rich or moist and well-tilled soils, is not only one of the largest usual acretible produce, bittpluinp in kernel mid fine in quality; on soils of inferior descrip tion, cold or arid, and poor, though the quantity be yet considerable, the grain is small and fli n ty, or long, and likely to make plenty of bran. All being dry, will weigh well in proportion, the superior capitally. In som e of the nor thern counties, there is more than the usual quantity of smut in the wheat. We doubt. not that such a crop of wheat as this, aided by one equally good of potatoes, Would feed Britain and Ireland during two years. Potatoes, barley, oats, and even peas, it may be hoped, will prove beyond expectation. On the fine barley soils, there is nearly, if not fully, an average crop, the quality superior. Of outs, nearly the same, but to a less extent. There are even, but they do not abound, satisfactory crops of peas ; but the beans, with few exceptions, are of low and bad re port—to wit, many were planted, none gathered. Straw fodder abounds, or is deficient, on the different soils above described. There was a crop of grass on rich gra minous soils, and on boggy lands a large growth of unusual good quality. Much grass was left for late mowing, and on the whole the weather has been favourable. As to the crop of Hops, whether with respect to quantity or quality, that of the year 26, it seems, is to stand red-lettered in the calendar. The harvest, perhaps the quickest, safest, and least ex= pensive within inemory,bbas, in coarse, afforded the longest interval between that and wheat sowing; which, from the arid state of those lands where the process usually takes place the earliest, will on those be considerably tater than usual. The - interval has been one of great business, since the rains have been sufficient and effective; ploughing, and the lands work most kindly, sowing turnips and grasses on the stubbles, also rape,'rye, and all the usual crops for winter and spring food.

The Editor of the Scots Times has just made an excursion to Abbotsford, the seat of the " Great Un known," commonly called Sir Walter Scott. For ra ther a national parallel, suggested by the place, be tween the Mantuan and Caledonian bards, we have no room ; but it would appear by the following descrip tion of the favourite residence of the latter, that he has, like others, suffered from bad speculations. With the fact that this great genius always strained at enlarging his original estate by the purchase of every adjacent spot of ground which would be disposed of, we hap pened ourselves to have been acquainted ; and further more that Sir Walter Scott raised considerable sums in London on an insurance of his life, to enable him to effect this purpose. ~ We learn, however, from the Morning Chronicle, that he now assiduously - devotes himself to literary labour, in order to pay off his debts ; but as the property he previously acquired had been settled on his tinnily, and proves tAmavallable to his creditors, the course Sir Walter has resolved upon is neither so chivalrous, nor would it perhaps be, in like circumstances, so extraordinary among " honest trades men," as the. Chronicle imagines.. The following is: the notice of Abbotsford in the Scots Times : " A few miles farther on we reached the spot whichwill: be held sacred to the Muse as long as Britain and her lan guage shall exist. Abbotsford is already viewed with nearly the same reverence as that with which we visit the birth-place of Virgil. The first of these two great poets was deservedly the friend and favourite of Augustus ; the latter is no less deservedly the favourite of our own most popular Monarch, whom we hope yet to see styled the Augustus of modern times. We cannot, however, suffi ciently comprehend how Sir Walter could have taken it into his head to embellish so absurd a place as this same Abbotsford. It will be at least a century before it can bear the appearance of a well-garnished estate. Indeed, we question altogether its capability of ever becoming a fine place to. the eye. The estate consists partly of a very nar row flat on the bank of the Tweed, and partly of what was very lately a bleak, shapeless lump of a hill, looking towards the north-east. The mansion-house is sititate among young plantations, on a very steep bank, within 50 yards of the river. We have been informed that the house was originally very small, resembling the appearance of an ordinary country manse,' or Scotch Parsons dwelling; but it grew with the fortunes of its owner, and is now a very pictureeque . pile of eastellap . d building, re sembling in miniature some of those splendid baronial re sidences which one meets with every where in England. We accordingly admire the appearance of Abbotsford, is gofer as it is a mere residence; but, as we have said be fore, we utterly abominate the situation in which it is placed. A great deal of money must have been exp en d e d in forming the young plantations, which spread out grace fully in every direction on the estate. But we grea tl y , mistake if ever an adequate return in money will be ob tained for the original price of the land, and the 'c a pit a l subsequently expended upon it. . The soil immediately on the river is of the most wretched barren description th a t we ever remember to have seen subjected to cultivation. Indeed, it is so completely a mass of gravel, that it only requires a little rolling and top-dressing to become a ca pital Macadamized road, of 500 or 600 yards in breadth. The rising ground beyond this, and towards the top of the hill, is of a cold ungrateful soil, and it will be fortunate if one half of the trees planted upon it ever arrive at mature growth. But a pehum et:Timis now belongs to the estate of Abbotsford, which cannot be estimated in the base shillings, and pence. Sir Walter, we matter of pounds, understand, has been rather too anxious to include every neighbouring patch he could lay his hands upon, to the bounds of his estate. - As usual in such cases, he was coin yelled to give prices much higher than the estimated pro duce would warrant. In the case of any other man, we should h ave b een i nc li ne d to pronounce thi s t o b e folly ; but we are forced to consider every acre added to the au perfiees of this particular property, as receiving a tenfold value, when it has once been consecrated by the touch of genius. The great hall, containing a great variety of ar mour, ancient and modern, of civilized anti savage nations, is the most remarkable sight in the interior of the building. The library, which is fitted up with eonsiderable taste, is the only other notable apartment. It would require, how* e ver, the pen of a first-rate antiquary to describe the mul titudinous relics of anc i en t times Which crowd upon the sight at every turn, both in the house and all aro un d it — This sacred spot is, : a t ,the present moment, i nvo l ve d in d e ep gloom ; but we put our trust in the om n ip otence of genius, and, ere anoth er year goes round, we are confident that we shall see its , w o ods and braes' smil e more beau tiful than ever , and that a brig hter s un will shed its beams o n all its romantic turrets, and on every portion of its hal lowed territory.

The quiintity of ground in the North Clays is only about 600 acres. The greater part of the hops grown thil season are of an excellent quality, the warm dry weather having produced a very forward ripeness. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 29. John Tafe, who Wag convicted on Thursday of an as sault upon Charlotte Gunnell, was put to the bar to reettiVe the sentence ,of the Court. CHAIRMAN addressed the prisoner, and said, that he hnd been found guilty of a most Waal and cruel assault upon an unprotected female, and that his conduct merited the severest punishment. The circumstances of his- ease had undergone the greatest considertition ; and the, con clusion come to by himself and those who acted with hint was, that he should be imprisoned one year. Prisoner—lt's no use uty saying any thing, now that I have received sentence; but you might uti well send any gentleman in Court to gaol for the °Renee as me. enstastsN—You have at least been proved to have said, " D—n her, I wish she was drowned ;" and " It's not her happinetts, but my own, that I lonic to." This was both cruel anti unkind. ISLAND 0? ASCENSION, AU * transport, Lieut.
